About Flarum

Frédéric L

I try to install Flarum like this forum (a French forum… no concurrency !!) but I can’t set relationship between tags. Here, when I select General, I am given the choice of related tags like knowledge. When I set secondary tags they are all presented even if they are not pertinent after the choice of the primary tag.

There are three types of tags:

Primary
Primary sub-tags
Secondary

What you need is 2 which is done by creating a regular primary tag and then dragging it with the mouse under a primary tag (watch for the animation while dragging) until it becomes indented, otherwise it will just change the order.

I've created a screenshot of the admin panel for creating tags, see how the primary tags are dragged/positioned into a two-level hierarchy

I do not know why i just recently noticed this, but i did.

On my (older ) ipad (v14.4) which is still my main internet browsing device, when i have multiple safari windows “tabs” running, across the area near the top of the screen, in the area just below the address bar, i see each tab as a label , as depicted in the below screenshot.

The tab on far left shows the big W for the wikipedia page on Herbert Anderson open in that tab . The tab on the far right shows a tiny thumbnail of what looks like a thin-haired man wearing headphones, this is for the Clack forum page open on About Flarum in that tab …. what do you call the name of this element ( the W or the little thumbnail photo) ? ….. and who is the person in the tiny photo that looks a bit like Putin wearing headphones?

Drew-r that is called a favicon and no, it's not the favicon of PianoClack 🤣 Someone else, maybe @QuasiUnaFantasia had the same problem on his iPad about seeing the wrong favicon. Not even sure where these come from, probably an iPad bug for showing some random image from its cache instead of a favicon. Apple devices use an elaborate scheme of looking for favicon-s in the web-server by expecting files named in particular way, etc. I've done that previously, then may have deleted them by mistake when cleaning up the forum. I will check again.

No not me; I don't have an iPad, and I don't recall noticing that issue.

Yes, i remember discussion about the (mini hunk of piano) Piano Clack favicon from a few weeks ago.

I do not doubt this is an iPad glitch. Since early this morning, i discovered that the image of the man wearing headphones is somehow being picked up from the homepage of another web site i frequent. This is more of a curiosity than a problem for me …. i can live with. I toyed around with it, the little man has somehow gotten replaced by the PW wheel …… 😆

PS. Not only can i live with this little annoyance, i WILL live with it rather than going back to windows and IE or Firefox or the like …. ive hitched my computer life to ipad and this is where i’ll be til the day i die ….. i’m guessing safari will somehow screw up that moment too 😉

I see in the HTTP access log for the forum that there are a lot of requests for particular Apple favicon files. I've added those and this should fix the issue. However it may take a day or two for your iPad to refresh the icon.

CyberGene after a couple of days re-using pianoclack via Safari on my iPad the favicon is looking good. 🤞

CyberGene

QuasiUnaFantasia sorry.

P.S. I did a search. It was @spanishbuddha

CyberGene yes, I switched to using Firefox on the iPad as the problem annoyed my OCD tendency, and actually with lots of tabs was a wee pain for quick navigation. It only occurred with Safari and I got the impression it was a 'known' Safari problem or weakness. I'll try again with Safari for a couple of days and see if it's improved or fixed.

spanishbuddha turns out the problem with inability to auto-scroll to the latest unread post when there are pictures/videos is not a Flarum problem either but a Safari problem. The Flarum devs said Safari is not their favorite browser because Apple won’t follow the standards and would often break functionality with new versions. When using Firefox there are no problems with auto-scroll. I hope Apple will fix it.
